=OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.=
Professor Graetz's History is universally accepted as a conscientious
and reliable contribution to religious literature.--_Philadelphia
Telegraph._
Aside from his value as a historian, he makes his pages charming by all
the little side-lights and illustrations which only come at the beck of
genius.--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._
The writer, who is considered by far the greatest of Jewish historians,
is the pioneer in his field of work--history without theology or
polemics.... His monumental work promises to be the standard by which
all other Jewish histories are to be measured by Jews for many years to
come.--_Baltimore American._
Whenever the subject constrains the author to discuss the Christian
religion, he is animated by a spirit not unworthy of the philosophic and

One of the striking features of the compilation is its succinctness and
rapidity of narrative, while at the same time necessary detail is not
sacrificed.--_Minneapolis Tribune._
Whatever controversies the work may awaken, of its noble scholarship

If one desires to study the history of the Jewish people under the
direction of a scholar and pleasant writer who is in sympathy with his
subject because he is himself a Jew, he should resort to the volumes of
Graetz.--_Review of Reviews_ (New York).

eminently readable.--_Sunday School Times._
As one turns from sermon to sermon, he gathers a wealth of precept
which, if he would practice, he would make both himself and others
happier. We might quote from every page some noble utterance or sweet
thought well worthy of the cherishing by either Jew or
Christian.--_Richmond Dispatch._
The topics discussed are in the most instances practical in their
nature. All are instructive, and passages of rare eloq
